Item Description

A very nifty and sculptural old-time calcite specimen from this historic district. A dramatic stalactite of stacked pokerchip calcite rhombs dominates the striking matrix jumble of more stacked pokerchip calcites. The stalactite is complete all-around. Nearly pristine, this excellent old-timer has just a trivial bit of scattered rubbing. Faint orange fluorescence. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection and from the Lee Areson Collection of the State of New York.
